After the successful start-up of TUM Asia’s Master of Science programmes, TUM Asia was invited to partner the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) to offer Technical University of Munich’s (TUM) Bachelor degree courses in Singapore. This opportunity saw us join Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) as one of her first Overseas University (OU) partners in 2009, offering our first TUM Bachelor degree in 2010. Since then, we have been running our TUM Bachelor degrees in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), and have been seeing TUM graduates enter the workforce since 2013.

The programmes are conferred by the Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich, TUM) and are 100% campus-blind. The TUM programmes have been tailored to provide the student with the foundation of German expertise knowledge, with the relevance of the Asian industry outlook.

The TUM degrees conducted in Singapore are closely modeled after their German equivalent at the home campus

TUM professors are flown to Singapore to teach on an exclusive teaching basis

Final-year students can spend three (3) to five (5) months at the main campus of TUM in Munich, Germany, to complete their Bachelor Thesis

Note: Graduates will receive a degree certificate identical to those studying in the home campus of the TUM. Our degrees are not distance-learning programmes as professors from TUM will fly in to teach on an exclusive basis, similar to the TUM courses conducted in Germany.

“During our course of study, our professors gave us a practical education, combining theory with industry relevant application so that my classmates and I can be well prepared in our careers. Till now, I still fondly remember one of my professors telling me; “My mission is not to repeat all those manuscripts. Rather, it is to train all of you to be much better than me at my age.””Yue Chao, (Graduate, BSc in Electrical Engineering & I.T.)

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

Apart from being able to study in the comforts of home, there are other benefits.

You will be taught by TUM professors in almost all your modules, all of whom are flying from TUM to TUM Asia to teach you exclusively.

You will also be taught in English – and no prior knowledge of German is required – though we are sure you will pick up some phrases from your professors/TAs during the course of study!

Last but not least, you will have the opportunity go to TUM in Germany. Your Bachelor Thesis – which ranges over 3 to 6 months – will be conducted in TUM itself. When you are in Munich, you will be matriculated at the TUM campus itself, ensuring you have full access to the facilities at the TUM.
